Kingston Test begins today
BRIDGETOWN.
Barbados. Mar 5: West Indies cricket captain Courtney Walsh is honing for posi-
tive things in the five Test series against India which opens at Sabina Park in Kingston. Jamaica, on Thursday, reports AFP.
The 34-year-old Walsh, who was recovering from a nagging hamstring injury sustained to-
wards the final Test against Australia in Perth last month, is feeling refreshed and ready to do battle after proving his fitness in the weekend’s four-day. first-class match between Jamaica and India.
"I am hoping that West Indies can make a positive start against the Indians and dominate the series because we didn’t do as well as we would have
liked in Australia.” he said.
"Australia would have been a learning experience and would have served us well. It is now up to the players to show people what they have learned. how good they are. and try to dominate."
West Indies lost the five-Test Sir Frank Worrell Trophy series 3-2 and were beaten 2-0 by Pakistan in the World Series Cup finals.
Walsh remarked. "In a home series, it's always easy because you can call on players a lot quicker than when you are on tour."
The fast bowler from Jamaica was expecting a tough series against the Indians.
"I saw a bit of them in England when they were on tour last year and I have been following their progress in the newspapers. They nave a pretty good all-round team ana they bat fairly deep. It s good, young team.
Walsh has taken 328 wickets in 87 Tests — 48 short of the West Indies record set by the present West Indies coach Malcolm Marshall at 377.
"1 am not really thinking about the record at this time. It would be nice to have a series win against India and also dominate the series." he reasoned.
"Obviously you set yourself targets but if I can get 350 wickets by the end of the Indian series, I will be very happy."
At the completion of the Indian series in May. West Indies will play host to Sri Lanka for the first time for two Tests and
one limited-over international in June, This should give Walsh more time to accomplish the feat.
Time will tell how long I can go on." he said. "It's one tour at a time for me as long as I am enjoying the game and doing the Job for myself as well as the team."
With the West Indies first-class championship extended to 10 series of matenes and Sri Lanka coming this year, he will
not return to Gloucestershire for this year's English county championship.
"I have told the authorities at Gloucestershire about my feeling and they were quite happy to go along with my suggestions and recommendations, so I will miss this season and have a full season in 1998." he said.
